Walter Block is now suing the New York times for libel. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/08/walter-e-block/suing-libelous-ny-times/ Yet in his own famous book "Defending The Undefendable", he devotes an entire chapter to defending "The libeler". SMH.

Well, I don't know all that an aide does, so I can't be of great help...but an aide could be privy to some interesting information before everyone else, yes? Might consider a blogging or youtubing career/side job.

I don't believe anyone has ever claimed the CSA to be a proto-libertarian bunch. (For me this is a matter of "more correct" than "perfectly correct on everything", as there is no such thing as a just involuntary government- as the CSA and USA were/are) They were just right about certain critically important principles, as AF, et al have pointed out.

D00d, you just compared the CSA to a regime literally responsible for the murder of millions of people. 1 milllion+ in the gulags alone. 20 million dead under Stalin alone. Figures by R. Medvedev:
* One million imprisoned or exiled from 1927 to 1929, falsely accused of being saboteurs or members of opposition parties.
* Nine million to 11 million of the more prosperous peasants driven from their lands and another two million to three million arrested or exiled in the early 1930's campaign of forced farm collectivization. Many of these were believed to have been killed.
* Six million to seven million killed in the punitive famine inflicted on peasants in 1932 and 1933.
* One million exiled from Moscow and Leningrad in 1935 for belonging to families of former nobility, merchants, capitalists and officials.
* About one million executed in the ''great terror'' of 1937-38, and another four million to six million sent to forced labor camps from which most, including Mr. Medvedev's father, did not return.
* Two million to three million sent to camps for violating absurdly strict labor laws imposed in 1940.
* At least 10 million to 12 million ''repressed'' in World War II, including millions of Soviet-Germans and other ethnic minorities forcibly relocated.
* More than one million arrested on political grounds from 1946 to Stalin's death in 1953.
You sure enjoy whacking strawmen. #notimpressed

You clearly haven't studied the history of anarchism prior to 1800. Anarcho communists like to say it's a lefty movement, but that's just because they have a myopic view of history. (See Zeno of Citium and Xenophon of Athens, for example)

Yes, but like many pieces of art, it illustrates a certain truth.There is no denying that there are and always have been people who want to alter or wash historical facts from mass consciousness. (John Taylor Gatto talks about this inhis books and lectures on public schooling. He who controls people's understandingof the past can manipulate how they think about the present andfuture.
